Abstract

We generalize the concept of efficient total domination from graphs to digraphs. An efficiently total dominating set X of a digraph D is a vertex subset such that every vertex of D has exactly one predecessor in X. We study graphs that permit an orientation having such a set and give complexity results and characterizations. Furthermore, we study the computational complexity of the (weighted) efficient total domination problem for several digraph classes. In particular we deal with most of the common generalizations of tournaments, like locally semicomplete and arc-locally semicomplete digraphs.
